Hi,
> .. how do you change the kernel from 16 to 32 bits?
What I meant was, I replaced one file by the other, that's all.

Hi Tom,
Here are the results you asked. Tests were done in a Compaq
Armada E500.
> is that reproducable with COPY/XCOPY ?
Yes.
I changed the kernel back to 16 bits and copied about 200 files
with COPY and XCOPY. The errors appeared as before. I also
decompressed some zip files, just to check

The BIOS doesn't know anything about cluster sizes. Maybe you mean sector
sizes? Almost all floppy and hard disks have a sector size of 512 byte.
Expect problems with hardware, firmware and/or software

Don't worry about that. I'm just a user, so I'm not required to
have extensive technical knowledge :-)

Are you sure the BIOS of your computers supports LBA
with the cluster size you choose? Some older machines
(e.g. this) require an specific cluster size in order
to use LBA.

Hi,
thanks for the report. sounds like there's a bug in the FAT16 kernel.
could you be a bit more specific so we can reproduce (and try to fix)
the bug like
what exact kernels are this ? can you give us a download link ?
(there are many 2039 kernels)
what's your config.sys and autoexec.ba
Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I succeeded, with help of this list, in
partitioning, formatting and installing Freedos in the hard disk
of a portable computer.
However, when trying to do the same in a second machine (Compaq
Armada, 1999) it became clear that what I had previously written
